Diatomaceous Earth Animal Grade
The uses for diatomaceous earth are many but in the garden DE can be used as an insecticide. Diatomaceous earth works to get rid of insects such as:
- Aphids
- Thrips
- Ants
- Mites
- Earwigs
- Adult Flea Beetles
- Snails
- Slugs
To these insects, diatomaceous earth is a lethal dust with microscopic sharp edges that cut through their protective covering and dries them out. One of the benefits of diatomaceous earth for insect control is that the insects have no way to build up a resistance to it, which can’t be said for many chemical control insecticides. Diatomaceous earth will not harm the worms or any of the beneficial microorganisms in the soil.
